Hi all....I'm loving the look of this bag. The leather looks soft and nice. I have a YSL Kahala and love the understated luxury of YSL bags....
Just want to get your opinion about this bag. I've read good things about the seller on TPF and she's got 100% positive feedback..but just want to be sure

Thanks!

She's an excellent seller, and I've never had a problem with her before.

HI i bought this bag when it first came out at Neiman Marcus. I think you should get more pictures from the seller. One way to tell is to get a picture of the the little metal piece where the drawstring is. That should be engraved YSL. My bag is way darker than that, and the original price was about $1000. I don't recall seeing Yves Saint Laurent embossed on the leather strap and I don't even remember seeing serial numbers, ... but I am going to look at it tonight and give you an answer tomorrow.

Initially looking at it, it looks legit, but there's something off that I can't really confirm (maybe the size and the light color). I love my YSL flower bag and I wear it all the time, even to this very day. But maybe this is a different version that came out later.

There's a black YSL flower bag currently on eBay and that one is official.

Thanks so much, D&G - I appreciate your help. It's such a beautiful bag but I want an authentic one, of course. I'll check out the black one, that might be a better color for me since light colors (on me) tend to be magnets for everything that shouldn't get on a bag...wine, pens, etc. ugh!

^^^^ OK, mine has everything in the picture except the embossing of Yves Saint Laurent. I'm almost sure it's authentic. There's an authenticity guarantee anyway. If I were you, i'd get it.. the stitching looks right and everything. I'm figuring that the camera probably just made the bag look lighter. Oh and that bag is made w/ buffalo leather so it's not delicate at all. Good luck, it's a beautiful bag... The black one is nice too, but you will definitely use this beige one. I wear mines with everything.
